The Google Advanced Technology and Projects division is a building that deals with what will be coming tomorrow. And what it has planned for the world, is a phone that you would probably never have to throw away.
Enter Project Ara - the technology that will allow active modification of smartphones. With a baseplate that will have six slots, the user can swap any part of the phone to modify it to convenience.
Need more battery life to record the match? No problem! Need to play the music a little louder? Put in the extra speaker! That does away with the problem of changing damaged parts as well. So, if the camera stops working, or even the processing unit, all you have to do is change that particular part with a functional one.
The driving force behind the project was not just technological development but curtailing waste accrued every year from discarded phones.
Ex-DARPA Director of Innovation Dan Kaufman, the new chief of ATAP, told Wired while demonstrating one of the live sets that Project Ara is no longer in ideation. The developer sets will be brought in late in 2016 and it would be made commercially available by 2017.
What was just an idea, is on its way to becoming a reality and this video shared by the YouTube channel of Google ATAP, offers a glimpse of exactly how it would be.
